Solsbury Hill hillfort, Bath and North East Somerset added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in South West by gasbag43 on 26/04/2026

Dominating the skyline northeast of Bath, Little Solsbury Hill (known more commonly as simply "Solsbury Hill") is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the West Country. This flat-topped 20+ acre "table mountain" served as an Iron Age hill fort, occupied between 300 BC and 100 BC. Unlike the sprawling ramparts of Hinton Hill (AKA Dyrham Camp), Solsbury Hill is characterised by its distinct, triangular plateau, which was once enclosed by a substantial stone-built wall rather than simple earth banks.

The aerial views capture the preserved univallate (single-circuit) defences. You can see the perimeter path following the line where the ancient walls once stood. Excavations suggest the fort was violently destroyed—possibly during tribal warfare—as evidenced by charred timber and collapsed stonework.

Beyond its martial history, the hill was a site of intense agricultural activity; the surrounding slopes still bear the faint traces of Celtic field systems, visible in the textures of the land.

While the hill’s ancient history is profound, it gained global fame through Peter Gabriel’s 1977 debut solo single, "Solsbury Hill" which is located just 4 miles away from his home in nearby Box. After leaving Genesis, Gabriel spent time on this summit, experiencing a spiritual epiphany about his career. The line "Eagle out of the night / He was blowing at mind / Over watch, the light / Wind was blowing time" directly references the expansive, wind-swept vistas seen here where the city of Bath and the Avon Valley stretch out toward the horizon.

Today, managed by the National Trust, the hill remains a site of pilgrimage for both history buffs and music fans, standing as a quiet, grassy sentinel over the modern world.

Ogmore-by-Sea, Vale of Glamorgan (By Victoria_Graholska)

Beautiful spot for flying and after a long research to make sure it's safe and legal I have decided to give it a go. There is so much more to see in this location including walking all the way up to the Ogmore Castle - and we went there before just without a drone and in another direction you will find a Dunraven Bay with a castle (or a footprint of the castle) I'm not too sure as we didn't get past the parking gate due to only cash accepted.
Parking is available and the earlier you arrive the better

Conderton Camp, Wychavon (By gasbag43)

If you are searching for an eye-catching blend of ancient history and sweeping English countryside, Conderton Camp on the southern slopes of Bredon Hill in Worcestershire is worth exploring


Dating back to the Middle Iron Age, Conderton Camp is a small oval hillfort set upon an elevated spur. From ground level, its historical contours can be easy to miss, but sending a drone up transforms the view. The aerial perspective brings the distinct oval earthworks and ancient rampart boundaries into focus. Surrounded by golden harvest fields and framed by a lush belt of mature trees, the site offers an impressive contrast of colours and textures during the summer months.

The drone-view reveals intricate earthwork outlines and field patterns that remain largely invisible from the footpaths. Sitting high on the flanks of Bredon Hill, the location rewards you with vast, uninterrupted 360-degree views across the Vale of Evesham and the surrounding Cotswold landscape.

The dramatic contrast between open fields, drystone boundary walls, and dense green tree lines provides brilliant leading lines for both photography and smooth video passes.

Whether you are capturing wide panoramas or tracking historical earthworks, Conderton Camp is a rewarding spot for any drone pilot.
